OMG people are gullible. DU this CNN poll

[maggrwaggr]

Is al Qaeda linked to attacks by insurgents in Iraq?

Right now, 61% are saying "yes".

This in spite of a news story ALSO ON CNN, saying that the US commander in Iraq says there's no connection

I'm getting "lie overload"

Scroll down a little bit, right side of page

1. Well...

thanks to Bush that just might be true.

4. Yup. Probably true at this point. It's a push poll, IMHO. (n/t)

2. Unfortunately people are still gullible.

The mainstream press hasn't done much to counter the assumption al Qaeda is responsible for 9/11 or the continuing attacks on troops in Iraq. Remember...shrub took the war on terror to Iraq so they wouldn't have to fight it here in Amerika.

3. Americans Need a Boogyman

Soon anything the administration does not like will be blamed on Al Qaeda.

5. I don't even bother with these polls...

CNN is not a news organization. It is a polling organization.

If they were concerned about journalism they would note that there is no known connection, rather than promoting the possibility of a connection.
